Andrew Wiggins is officially back, but to me the biggest revelation from practice was Brandin Podziemski acting as his own “statmuse” when asked about his “✍️” quote tweet of NBA Communications’ (!) announcement that Victor Wembanyama had won Rookie of the Month honors for February, plus — and probably more importantly — Keyonte George, Chet Holmgren and Amen Thompson were the … [Read more...] about Podziemski “should have at least been in the conversation” for Rookie of the Month
